Senocular was being modest, check out his great tutorial on the Transform Matrix.

Check the [Live Docs](http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002839.html) page also

If you need to go beyond the limits of the Transform Matrix then look into…
